My home Internet connection is down, so I can't resolve everything just yet, but:
1. Crashdown is
Benevolent.
Helo will get to look at the top card of the Destination deck. He will then choose which of his trauma tokens to place on one
Simon O'Neill in Sickbay.
2. Gaeta is correct, Starbuck's ability gives her an extra action on her own turn. It doesn't double actions on an XO. She'll get her four shots from the MF and then we'll have the crisis card.

I'm at uni now, in front of a functional computer, so.
Actually, before we roll for Starbuck, I realised that I misplayed something. When Chief started his turn in Sickbay, he should have drawn a trauma token before encountering Cottle. I'm going to send it out now. (I debated this, but ultimately it's what should have happened, and even if it's bad trauma, there's not much he could have done about it in the last couple of turns anyway.)
Ok. Starbuck now fires on the raiders:
Fire 1: 5. Hit!
Fire 2: 6. Hit!
Fire 3: 1. Miss.
Fire 4: 1. Miss.
Before we go on to the crisis card, we should really pause for Helo to sort out Simon's trauma, so we'll wait for a bit.
BSG
I have received various orders from Helo:
1. He buries the destination revealed to him by Crashdown.
2. He places new trauma on Simon.
3. He steps in with his reroll to allow Starbuck a final chance at those raiders:
Fire 4a: 3. Hit!
Three raiders destroyed.
That's quite the Helo show there. Karl "Helo" Agathon - the Admiral the whole fleet can agree on. Can't they? Or is there a "Nolo" faction? Helo's crisis card is:
Reunite the Fleet

Helo, when you're ready, please post your choice.

How do we feel about the skill check?
BSG (President)
I say go for it. Much easier than dealing with half your hand turning brown. Toaster head can only toss in one negative, right?
BSG (Helo)
I can only help a little.
BSG(Chiefless)
I feel like I have no cards.
BSG (Gaeta)
I feel like there's a good reason for that.
I can help with the check.
BSG (Helo)
Starbuck? Cally? I really don't want a hand full of treachery but I know I can't pass this check on my own.
